Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay has evolved into a wine that is
now a distinctive, single-region style in its own right, with a contemporary
and distinctive Adelaide Hills Chardonnay persona. All fruit is hand-picked
into small bins and then whole-bunch pressed. The juice is incrementally filled
to barrel directly from the press and allowed to undergo a natural
fermentation,sans inoculation. Every new and seasoned
French oak barrique is its own unique 225-litre ferment. Enhanced mouthfeel and
complexity is achieved by fermenting on solids, 100% malolactic fermentation
(all natural).
